Power and management according to Agamben: Some implications of Agamben's thoughts to management scholarship.

This review discusses some of the most prominent contributions of Giorgio Agamben to philosophy and political theories that are relevant to management scholars. By addressing Agamben's theological genealogy of economy and government included in The Kingdom and the Glory, I introduce management scholars to innovative significations and understandings of power and management, including the notion that power is a form of management. I also offer some reflections on the ramifications for management scholarship of Agamben's engagement with management as a praxis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
